Noting that Muslims face discrimination in various states, former Vice-Chancellor of Jamia Millia Islamia Mushirul Hasan today advocated for reservation to the community saying it was a legitimate demand.
"Muslims have been discriminated in various states...They have been denied
opportunities in different ways when it comes to progress and development. They were not in a position to take advantage of overall progress that India has made," he said in response to a question related with backwardness of the Muslim community, at the Jaipur Literature Festival.
